CHAPTER – 7 CAN YOU SEE THE PATTERN?
NOTES
1. Introduction to Patterns
• Patterns are arrangements or sequences that follow a specific rule.
• Examples include designs on clothing, tiles, or number sequences.
• Understanding patterns helps in predicting what comes next in a sequence.
2. Turns and Patterns
• Patterns can involve turning shapes in a sequence:
o One-fourth turn: Turning 90 degrees.
o Half turn: Turning 180 degrees.
o Three-fourth turn: Turning 270 degrees.
• Repetition of turns can create unique patterns, like those seen on fabric
designs.
3. Magic Squares
• A magic square is a grid where the sum of numbers in each row, column, and
diagonal is the same.
• Example: Filling a square with numbers from 21 to 29 where each row and
column sums to 75.
4. Magic Hexagons
• A hexagon can also display patterns, with specific rules for filling the
numbers.
• The number in the hexagon's box can be determined by multiplying the
adjacent numbers.
5. Number Patterns
• Adding odd numbers: The sum of the first 'n' odd numbers equals n×nn \times
nn×n.
• Pattern in sequences: Adding sequential odd numbers reveals a square number
pattern
(e.g., 1 + 3 + 5 = 9, which is 323^232).
6. Palindromes
• Numbers or words that read the same forward and backward are called
palindromes.
• Example: 121 or the phrase "N O L E M O N N O M E L O N".
7. Calendar Patterns
• Marking a 3x3 grid on a calendar and adding up the dates can lead to specific
predictable results.
• The middle number of the 3x3 grid can help in quickly finding the total sum.
8. Secret Numbers and Clues
• The chapter introduces games and exercises where clues are given to find a
secret number."
• These activities help students understand mathematical operations and
relationships between numbers.
9. Exploring Symmetry and Rotation
• Patterns can be created by rotating or flipping shapes.
• Understanding symmetry helps in recognizing repeated elements in designs.
